Background

About Stephen Foss

Stephen’s goal is to provide forward-thinking legal counsel involving intellectual property that incorporates both the vision of the client and the stakeholders involved. Only by fully understanding this vision can optimal decisions be made and the appropriate strategy designed and executed. More often than not, the views of stakeholders can vary. In many situations, effective and efficient results can be obtained simply by using sound business judgment once those perspectives are synthesized, understood and then leveraged. As a result, Stephen helps his clients to develop shared values in terms of policies and operating practices that enhance the competitiveness of the company and create synergy with the organization, as well as advance the economic and social conditions in which his clients operate.Stephen is dedicated to designing solutions that incorporate three major considerations. First, decisions should be made which are acutely focused on the overall organization and objectives of the client, including the multiple stakeholders involved in the decision-making process. Second, legal counsel must incorporate both long- and short-term objectives. Finally, providing IP services should always involve the recognition of trade-offs between the desired result and economic considerations. Stephen is committed to consistently delivering such multi-dimensional advice.
